Heavens Declare the Glory of God

The passage
“The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims His handiwork. Day to day pours out speech, and night to night reveals knowledge.” The psalm then turns from the speech of creation to the perfection of the law of the LORD, joining what God shows in the skies to what He says in His word.
Where it stands
Psalm 19 is a psalm of David, and it is the classic statement of the two revelations the whole site is built on: the general revelation of God in creation, and the special revelation of God in Scripture.
